• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I just wanted a clarification from the Chair. There has been this concern that the Attorney-General, at one point, and even the Deputy President, also at one point, had raised issues and concerns with this project. In the process of investigation, can the Chair confirm to us whether there were any of these concerns or whether this was factual? Finally, I also wanted to confirm with the Chair whether in his report they looked at the feasibility study and a study on the financial viability of this project, and has he attached the same for our information? There ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: been some allegations, or it has been contested widely that this country is even guaranteeing a percentage of business to the financiers of this project. He should also indicate whether it would be possible for us, as a country, to guarantee that percentage. I heard it is about 30 or 35 per cent. I think it is 32 per cent guarantee of the business at the Kenya Ports Authority. This percentage of business is supposed to enable the financiers to recoup their cost. Could he give us a leak detail on that and say if it is attached on the ... view

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I had two points of order. First of all, hon. Chepkonga has cast very serious aspersions on my character because at no time have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I discussed with him anything to do with marriage or any issue to do with the family. This is because I have a very strong, solid, firm and stable, non-quarrelsome marriage which has lasted for over ten years. I expect it to last forever. I am married to a very beautiful African wife. view

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on a serious note, I would not ordinarily interrupt my Leader of the Minority Party but he has made a very serious allegation – that we are 100 per cent united in supporting the Senate. I do not remember ever taking a vote in this House in support of the Senate in their issues with the governors. If you asked me, I would say that the Senate is reaping exactly what they sowed. The Senate went to court over small issues with the National Assembly. If the governors are going to court, they should also put up with ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would also like to support this Bill. Before I go far, I would like to inform my senior and friend, the Majority Chief Whip that the definition that is put in the Bill is actually uplifted directly from the Constitution which defines “youth” as a person who attained the age of 18 years, but has not attained the age of 35 years. So, that is actually uplifted directly from the Constitution. Having said that, I want to say that in my support for this Bill, first of all, I will not repeat what my ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to congratulate hon. Sakaja, one who I have a lot of respect for, for introducing this Bill to amend the principal act of Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at our Constitution, Article 227 requires that before end of August, 2014, we are supposed to review and repeal the Public Procurement and Disposal Act; even as we wait to carry out that overhaul to that Act. It is important that we take immediate and quick steps to amend the Act to accommodate, not only the youth but even other disadvantage members ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: there have been a lot of attempts to this direction, but the banks have not allowed it to go very far. I would urge the Jubilee administration, being the majority, that this time they use their numbers to help Kenyans by reducing the bank interest rates. Not only that, they should also look for creative ways of increasing job opportunities. Remember the CORD Manifesto; our number one agenda was job creation. How I wish that CORD formed the Government. That would have been our priority in trying to help Kenyans get more employment. However, if this is not going to ... view
